Joan Parsons writes with enthusiasm about her working life in Brighton, where she was employed for many years as a toilet attendant. She worked in many different areas of Brighton, including The Steine, Clock Tower and the Aquarium, and during the course of her working day she would meet many characters, including homeless people who had made a public toilet their home.
Joan also recalls her childhood, born in Franklin Road and growing up in Brighton in the 1930s, leaving school at the age of 14 and going straight into work. She also remembers local cinemas such as the Savoy, the Arcadia and the Astoria, and theatres such as the Court and the Hippodrome.
